A city is a permanent, self-sustaining concentration of people, services, and government. They can serve as single purpose or stand as a massive hub and melting pot for a variety of industry, government, religion, philosophy, education, etc.
Towns and cities started as centres of commerce but also attracted other services to them. They became centres of administration, and everything from law courts to health services, and from universities to military headquarters came to be located in and around them.
In consequence, modern cities bring together a variety of functions. All cities cannot provide the same services and we can find cities that provide a service or an activity as their main hook. According to their hook, we will find different types of cities.
- Explain each type of city.
